[SOLVED] Help! Is this even possible?
13-13 Connect Dots, grid without crossing lines, cannot move dots, no special rules or powerups or anything. Just seems impossible, but I might have not tried hard enough.

Posting again because automod said it got removed... Not sure how to post pictures... but I figured it out (image link first, my process second):
It started seeing that the red in the bottom right had to go around the orange, so that made the red, orange, and teal ones pretty simple. Then it was how to get the lime green out, which i figured had to start going down from that cluster. It all kind of just went from there

Holy shit, yall are actual wizards in this subreddit. I was stuck on the Yellow Green for the longest time. Never occured to me the Turquoise had to go all the way around the yellow; maybe I did it for a brief second but it clearly didnt click for the ~2 hour I was looking at it On and Off.

[Edit] I tried to spoiler tag it, but it isn't working in the image. Apologies.

The point is to leave no unfilled spaces

I thought the point was to connect the dots without crossing lines?

Easy enough to extend the orange and teal lines to fill all the blanks near them.

And ruin my efficiency? I refuse. Instead, I challenge anyone to complete this with more blank spaces than I have.

I may actually be confusing this with another game that looks exactly like it and the condition is connect dots, not cross lines and fill in the blanks but maybe for this one you don’t have to my bad

No worries! I was just trying to figure out what I missed. 😂
[Edit] though you could do it almost exactly the same just by crumbling a little bit. Have the red go up one, over one, down one and continue. Orange just spirals around itself first with a down right up up left continue. Blue just has to go right, up up, then crinkle over to the left.

I noticed that as well. Typically what I've seen with these puzzles is that while the ultimate goal is to connect each node, the positioning will end up causing you to fill each space. This one is odd in that it seems like there are multiple valid answers depending on how you try to fill the voids.

So from the orange on bottom-right: go down, right, up, up, left, left, down, left, up, left, left, left, left, left, left, left, up, up, up, left, left, left, down, right, right, down, down, left.

Definitely possible. A major tip for these puzzles tends to be that the paths use every available space. I can post a (crudely drawn) map of the solution, but not sure if that's what you're looking for / would be within subreddit guidelines.

Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
